CORRESPONDENCE. 


Richmond,  Feb.  28th,  186^. 
Col.  George  Wythe  Munford, 

Dear  Sir  : — The  day  rapidly  approaches  when  the  people  of  Vir- 
ginia will  be  called  on  to  select  a  successor  to  tho  Chief  Executive 
office  of  this  Commonwealth.  Tho  times  demand  a  Governor  of  no 
ordinary  qualifications.  We  are  engaged  in  a  war  of  independence 
which  may  be  prolonged  for  yearh.  The  part  which  Virginia  has 
taken  in  that  war  has  been  worthy  of  her  greatness  and  her  patriot- 
ism in  the  past,  and  the  duties  she  mast  yet  perform  will  call  for  all 
the  energy  that  her  brave  sons  can  put  forth.  At  so  troublous,  an 
epoch  in  our  history,  the  man  who  should  uphold  the  sovereignty 
and  protect  the  interests  of  the  State  should  possess  a  deep  and 
abiding  affection  for  Virginia,  an  inflexible  resolution  never  to  see 
her  integrity  impaired,  a  thorough  acquaintance  with  ber  resomv 
and  the  genius  and  temper  of  her  people,  a  large  knowledge  of  the 
science,  and  a  ready  familiarity  with  the  poetical  details  of  govern- 
ment, and  a  character  above  reproach.  Believing  that  you  combine 
these  qualities  in  an  eminent  degree,  and  recognizing  the  invaluable 
and  distinguished  services  you  have  rendered  the  State  in  many 
posts  of  usefulness  through  a  long  series  of  years,  we  ask  authority 
to  place  your  name  before  the  people  of  Virginia  for  their  suffrages 
as  the  next  Governor  of  the  State.  These  are  no  days  for  party 
nominations  or  party  conventions,  and  we  flatter  ourselves  with  the 
hope  that  your  name  brought  forward  in  this  way  will  secure  the 
vote  of  a  decisive  majority  of  your  fellow-citizens. 
With  great  respect, 

Your  friends  and  obedient  servants,

Richmond,  March  2d,  1S63. 
To  Messrs  Wm.  F.  Ritchie,  Thomas  B.  Bigger,  Horace  L.  Kent, 

and  others : 

Gentlemen — Your  flattering  invitation  to  permit  my  name  to  be 
used  as  a  candidate  for  the  office  of  Governor,  has  been  received. — 
Similar  requests  have  been  presented  to  me  by  friends  in  different 
portions  of  the  State.  I  yield,  'therefore,  to  your  wishes,  without 
undue  affectation  of  modesty,  or  vain  professions  of  ability,  expe- 
rience or  zeal. 

You  are  pleased  to  allude  to  the  various  positions  I  have  occu- 
pied iu  the  State.  If  I  have  succeeded  in  deserving  the  commenda- 
tion you  bestow  for  tfie  discharge  of  my  duties  heretofore,  it  is  the 
best  pledge  I  can  give  of  the  course  I  shall  pursue  hereafter. 

It  is  proper  that  you  should  be  in  possession  of  some  of  my 
views  upon  public  affairs.     I  give  them  concisely  : 

Proud  of  Virginia's  ancient  renown,  zealous  that  her  present 
should  equal  her  tormer  fame,  recognizing  but  one  Virginia,  and 
that  containing  all  her  people  and  her  whole  territory,  I  givo  my 
heart  and  mind  to  maintain  and  perpetuate  her  integrity  unim- 
paired. 

I  anl  a  strict  constructionist,  with  the  Constitution  as  my  com- 
pass and  chart;  believing  it  to  be  the  duty  of  the  Executive^  faith- 
fully to  execute,  not  to  make,  laws,  not  to  usurp  the  prerogative  of 
the  Legislature,  nor  to  interfere  with  the  just  action  of  the  Judiciary  .^ 

I  am  an  advocate  of  State  rights  ;  opposed  to  consolidation  ot 
powers  in  the  federative  system.  I  would,  if  I  could,  restrain  the 
Confederate  Government  within  its  appropriate  functions.  It  has 
enough  to  do  to  secure  our  independence  without  violating  personal 
rights.  It  has  enough  to  do  to  attend  to  its  external  relations; 
to  smooth  the  way  for  intercourse  with  foreign  nations  ;  to  care 
for  and  provide  adequate  supplies  for  our  patriotic  and  glorious 
armies.  It  has  enough  to  do  to  provide  an  adequate  revenue,  and 
to  curtail  its  redundant  curreno*,  leaving  the  Slates  to  attend  to  their 
internal  affairs,  ample  for  their  noblest  exertions  ;  leaving  individuals 
free  to  regulate  their  own  pursuits,  unstimulated  by  governmental 
aids,  unseduced  by  governmental  bribes,  unawed  by  the  exercise  ot 
mi  warrantable  power. 

I  will  give  to  the  President  a  zealous  co-operation,  confiding  iu 
his  talents,  fidelity,  patriotism,  firmness,  and  Christianity. 

To  the  United  States  Government  as  administered,  and  to  its  Con- 


stitution  as  construed,  I  am  utterly  and  irreconcilably  hostile.  I 
would  scatter  every  material  for  reconstruction  of  the  old  Union  to 
the  winds.  The  blood  of  tens  of  thousands  of  the  brightest  aud 
best  of  Southern  sons  cries  aloud  against  a  re-union.  The  two  sys- 
tems, in  my  opinion,  have  different  attractions  and  mutual  repul- 
sions.    They  must  in  future  revolve  in  different  spheres. 

"Blessed  are  the  Peacemakers,"  but  peace  must  be  based  upon 
the  recognition  of  our  separate  national  independence,  ana  upon  the 
restoration  of  the  entire  territory  of  every  State  in  the  Confed- 
eracy. 

With  these  principles  briefly  stated,  if  I  can  obtain  the  vote  and 
confidence  of  the  State  I  shall  be  grateful.  If  not,  I  shall  bow  with 
composure  to  the  majesty  of  the  people. 

Very  respectfully, 

J  GEORGE  W.  MUNFORD. 

From  the  Richmond  Whig. 

Col.  George  Wythe  Munford  is  here  presented  as  a  candidate  for 
the  office  of  Governor.  At  a  time  when  Virginia  needs  the  best 
talents  and  the  experience,  skill  and  counsel  of  her  truest  and  most 
devoted  sons,  such  a  nomination,  it  is  hoped,  will  be  generally  ac- 
ceptable. 

His  claims  for  promotion  are  the  best  foundation  for  the  State's 
claim  to  his  services.  He  has  been  intimately  connected  with  the 
public  affairs  of  Virginia  for  nearly  forty  years.  He  has,  at  his  fin- 
gers' ends,  the  rolls  of  her  legislation ;  he  has  been  the  keeper  of 
the  journal  of  the  reforms  of  her  organic  law;  he  has,  as  commis- 
sioner of  the  Sinking  Fund,  been  officially  obliged  to  scan  her  fisc 
with  the  accuracy  of  a  calculator  and  a  critic  ;  he  has  practiced  her 
whole  system  of  militia  organization  ;  he  has  had  to  state  the  ac- 
counts and  pay-rolls  of  her  claims  and  pensions,  and  the  catalogue 
of  her  library,  and  to  conduct  her  international  exchanges  ;  he  has 
had  to  supervise  the  audits  and  settlements  of  her  literary  and  mon- 
ument funds ;  he  has  lately  revised  all  her  statutes  ;  and  he  has  been 
her  Secretary  of  State,  intimately  counselling  her  Executive  admin- 
istration, for  a  long  series  of  years.  In  offices  with  very  moderate 
if  not  inadequate  pay,  he  has  waited  assiduously,  and  often  extra- 
officially  on  her  people ;  he  is  universally  known  and  greatly  ap- 
proved in  all  the  places  he  has  filled  and  yet  fills  ;  he  is  thoroughly 
acquainted  with  tbe  capabilities  of/  the  Commonwealth,  and  with 
the  genius  and  wishes  and  instincts,  imd  even  prejudices  of  her  peo- 
ple ;  and  he  is  intus  et  in  cute,  a  Virginian,  beloved  of  Virginians, 
imbued  with  their  genius,  their  wishes,  their  instincts,  their  prejudi- 
ces, their  pride,  their  passions,  their  grace  and  their  glory  !  He  is 
unambitious,  except  to  serve  and  be  useful,  and  has  served  and  been 
useful  a  long  time  in  subordinate  places.  He  is  now  in  the  full  ma- 
turity of  his  talents.  Though  time  has  silvered  his  head,  his  ener- 
gies are  yet  vigorous  as  ever,  and  now,  as  they  have  been  for  many 
years,  are  incessantly  exerted  to  do  his  part  well,  in  the  brightest  of 


sunny  days  as  in  the  night  and  gloom  of  the  storm  which  palsies 
some  and  appalls  almost  all.  He  is  an  old  public  servant,  to 
moderate  means,  and  a  favorite  of  heaven,  in  having  a  large  and 
most  interesting  family;  but,  ah  !  he  has  tbem  not  all  !  God  gave 
him,  and  this  unrighteous  war  has  taken  from  him  one  of  his  bright- 
est jewels — that  noble  boy,  who  fell  gallantlv  fighting  at  Malvern 
Hill. 

Colonel  Munford  is  a  gentleman,  in  the  true  sense — urbane,  even- 
tempered,  calm,  patient,  honest,  just,  firm,  manly  and  liberal.  He 
is  a  scholar  of  classical  education^  and  amidst  all  his  practical  life 
has  cultivated,  not  unsuccessfully,  the  field  of  polite  literature.  He 
is  an  alumnus  of  the  venerable  college  of  William  and  Marv,  with 
her  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Law. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  ses  ion  of  the  General  Assembly  in 
1825,  he  was  elected  clerk  of  tl 


office  he  was  re-elected  at  each  s\ 


e   House  of  Delegates — to  which 
cceedinsf  session  for  twentv-seveu 


years,  by  unanimous  votes.     And 


in  December  1852,  he  was  elect- 


ed by  the  General  Assembly,  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth.  Oo 
the  last  day  of  his  service  as  clerk,  the  House  of  Delegates  un:i 
mously  adopted  a  resolution,  tendering  to  him  their  thanks  for  the 
prompt,  able  and  impartial  manner  in  which,  for  twenty -seven  years, 
he  had  discharged  the.  important  and  responsible  duties  of  that 
office. 

During  this  time,  too,  he  was  not  neglectful  of  other  duties.     Iu 
1829,   he  was    elected  Captain  of  the    Richmond    Light    Infan 
Blues — the  oldest  volunteer  company  in  the  State — baptised  by  the 
blood  of  its  Captain,  O.  Jennings  Wise,  of  gallant   memory,  in  the 
lamentable  affair  of  Roanoke  Island.     Afterwards  he  was  promoted 
to  the  Lieutenant  Colonelcy  of  the    19th  Regiment;  but  in   1  - 
was  re-elected  Captain  of  the  Blues,  and  served  with  eclat  for  m  . 
ly  eight  years.     At  the  breaking  out  of  the  present  war,  the  hono- 
rary and  ex-members  of  the    Blues  formed  themselves  into   a 
served  cocps,  to  the  command  of  which  they  again  called  their  old 
Captain.     He  was  appointed  by  Governor.  McDowell,  a  Visitor  of' 
the  Virginia  Military  Institute,  and  served  as  such  fonr  years.     For 
twelve  years  he  served  as  a  member  of  the  City  Council  of  Rich- 
mond, during  the  latter  part  of  that  period  being  its  President.    1 1 
was   elected  aud  served  one  year    as    a   member  of  the  Hustings 
Court.     Originally  appointed   by  the   Board  of  Public  Works,  and 
afterwards  elected  by  the  Stockholders,  he  has  served  continuou-lv 
for  twenty-five  years   as   a   Director  of  the  Richmond,  Fredericks- 
burg and  Potomac  Railroad  ;  nnvf  was  for  several  years  a  Director  of 
the  Richmond  and  Danville  Railroad. 

On  the  5th  of  October,  1829,  he  was  elected  Secretary  of  the 
State  Convention,  called  to  revise  the  Constitution.  Of  this  C 
tention,  Mr.  Ritchie,  in  his  preface  to  the  Report  of  their  Proceed- 
ings and  Debates,  says :  "  Much  of  what  was  venerable  for  years 
"  and  long  service ;  many  of  those  who  were  most  respected  for 
"  their  wisdom  and  their  eloquence,  two  of  the  Ex- 1 'residents  of  the 


"United  States,  the  Chief  Justice  of  the  United  States,  several  of 
"those  vrho  had  been  moat  distinguished  in  Congress  or  the  State 
"  Legislature,  on  the  Bench  or  at  the  Bar,  were  brought  together 
"  for  the  momentous  purpose  of  laving  anew  the  fundamental  law 
11  of  the    land/'     This    office    he    I  1,  after   a   service  of  two 

months,  having  been  then  for  the  fifth  time,  Clerk  of  the 


House  of  ]  In  his  lotto 


of  resignation,  he  stated  that,  so 


long  as  the  sessions  of  the  C  >n   and  the  House  would  not 

hare  conflicted,  he  would,  with  p  easure,  hive  served  hath  without 
ring  double  compensati  ■ 

Bur  brief  as  was  h  Convention  of  1820*30, 

it  brought  him  into  contact  whh  some  of  the  foremost  men  of  their 
time,  and  their  es  taught  him  lessons  of  juris- 

prudence and  law--  .  and  helcfibcfore  his  eyes  examples  of  wis- 

dom am  I  of  gov  filing,  the   like  of  which  we  may 

>r  again.      !  it  be  inspired  by  their  spirit ; 

ho  could  not  but  be  enlightene  he  illumination  of  such  minds  ; 

he  could  not  but  be  made  more  wisely  patriotic  by  the  dignified  de- 
liberationa  of  such  fathers  and  foui  '•  il  liberty,  of  social  or- 

and  of  itional  guarante 

Since  he  enten  ion  the  duties  of  Secretary  of  the  Common- 
wealth, he  has  filled,  either  exofficfo  or  by  special  appointment,  va- 
rious other  offices,  ;uch 

Commissioner  of  the  Col  ?,   Commissioner  of  the 

i:ing  Fund,  Commissioner  to  audit  and  settle  accounts  and  ex- 
penditures of  the  John  Brown  raidv  Commissioner  (by  ordinance  of 
the  Convention  of  Virginia,)  to  audit  and  settle  all  claims  for  expen- 
ditures for  the  organization,  equipment,  &c,  of  the  land  and  naval 
forces  called  or  to  be  ci  defence  of  the  Commonwealth 

in  the  present  war. 

In   March,  1860,  the  duty  of  revising  the   Code  of  Virginia  was 

solved  on  him  b  :ad  he  haB  executed  his  task  to  the  entire 

satisfaction  of  the  Bench  and  the  Bar,  at  an  expense  of  but  $2,000, 
whilst   the  of  1819    cost    M0,000,  and  that  of  1849  .cost 

127,000. 

Thus,  he  has  been  required  many  important  but  still  subor- 

iliocs.     All  of  them,  and  most  of  them  together,  he  has  filled 

with  ability,  assiduity,  punctuality,  accuracy  and  dignity.     And  when 

Icok  at  the  nature  of  the  offices,  they  are  all  such  exactly  as  traiu 

a  man  for  the  comprehensive  views-And  various   details  required  in 

the  Executive  office,  which  superinifltods  them  all.     Col.  Munford,  as

is  for  reports  on  every  claim.  .With  the  legislation,  with  the 
forms,  with  the  history  of  accounts  and  claims,  he  is  more  familial' 
than  any  other  man.  And  with  thft  larger  subjects  he  has  had  to 
labor  still  harder  and  more  constantly.  The  siuking  fund  has  tested
